Re: December 2017 McDougall Weigh In Thread

Hi All,
Thanks to everyone who checked-in this week. We've had some great effort and I'm so happy to hear from each of you. This flu that's going around sounds brutal! I hope anyone under the weather takes good care of themselves with lots of rest, a glass of water beside the bed and, as my mom used to make all us kids wear: a long sock pinned around your neck to keep it warm (it's also VERY attractive...LOL).
Okay, I talked to the calendar gods and I've managed to secure a beginning of the week date for Christmas this year, so there's lots of recovery time before weighing in after a feast meal...LOL (unlike this past Thanksgiving)! I hope this means that everyone will still consider checking-in no matter how their holidays actually go over the next two weeks.
I am super determined to get through the holiday with my self-esteem intact, telling me how proud it is of me through feelings of contentment and satisfaction of a job well done. That's why I'm working hard to ensure I'm not in any of Dr. Lisle's traps, with many many days of truly MWL adherent eating under my belt, so that when that block of back-to-back holiday meals arrives I am in great standing to avoid my Pleasure Trap or Cram Circuits pinging too loudly when I am undoubtedly faced with terribly tempting choices. Mary McDougall has created a delicious menu that may inspire some of your meal planning ideas, be sure to take a look!
There are still 2 more weigh-ins/check-ins for the month, that's plenty of time to get ourselves sorted out and usher in the new year feeling fabulous. I wish all of you the best this week in finding time to plan and prepare for that success. XO

PS. Here's another day-in-the-life post of what I ate:
(I'm actually still away from home with less control over food access. It's been fine, and everyone has been so accommodating, but I usually try for more veggies).
